Upstairs freezer: Two large bags of chicken breasts, large bag frozen french fries, coffee in a bag, ice cube trays (which may or may not contain ice), freezer pops, half of a ham, some cold packs.

Smoothies? Any good recipes? I think I have the lamest, most useless blender in the world. I've thought of getting one of the handheld ones but I figure it'll probably not get used.

This is not in my freezer now, but it's a good freezer story.

My dad is a veteranarian (sp?), thus we usually had a variety of pets around the house. Cats, birds, fish, mice, etc. etc. We had these two parakeets when I was in high school. They lived in our tv room and they were sooo noisy. They chirped all the time and you could never really watch TV in peace. So... one night, my parents were watching the X-files and one of the birds started making this unreal noise... and it just dropped dead. Apparently, it got scared during the X-files. The other one was quick to follow. My dad decided that the best thing to do would be to put the birds in a Ziploc baggie and in the freezer. He wanted to perform an autopsy to determine the real cause of death.

The autopsy was never performed... the birds sat in the freezer for months. One of my friends went into the freezer to get some ice, saw the birds and freaked out. What kind of freaks freeze their pets? My family. The birds were pitched shortly after the ice incident.

My freezer now is empty. I need to go shopping.

I use 1.5 bananas (I break them all in half before I freeze them), about 6-10 whole strawberries (I buy them in a bag already frozen, so there are no stems to deal with) and maybe 1 to 1.5 cups of apple juice. That's it. I usually microwave the bananas for 10 seconds just to make it a little easier on the blender, though I have a very industrial one, like the kind they have in bars. Only two speeds, and it cost about $140. But I use it everyday.

Some Haagen-Dazs, some meat, and some Jaegermeister left over from the previous owner of the freezer.

I understand the vodka's in the freezer, it is only pickled potato juice after all, ok, but is your bourbon so cheap and nasty that you have to mute the flavor with cold to drink it? I always liked my bourbon with no more than two cubes. Half the pleasure was the aroma.

Hmmm, always tastes/smells like burnt sugar to me. Never developed a taste for it. The hard stuff messes my stomach anyway.

Until recently the upstairs freezer had a bottle of Bombay safire which was involved in a series of small spills

Now there are 21 quarts of frozen strawberries, about 1/8 of a beefer in various cuts (was a 1/4) some ice, some pork roasts, about a half dozen tubs of hummus, some bananas with the skin on. (Why is this bad? Besides the horrible color and the impossibility of peeling them when they defrost. Maybe I answered my own question.)

18 pounds of cultured butter. Several chickens. Game hens coming soon!

5# of sundried tomatoes. A few pounds of frozen corn.

Downstairs freezer has more chicken, bacon, roasts, and some beef.
